  We hope you love all the new updates—we promise there's more to come soon! Gather your friends and get ready to dive into the chaos of the Pit. See you down there!

Demo for next fest!
Game is to be released not to long after the next fest, probably Q2 or Q3, will see.
The demo will be the primary deciding factor of the direction for the future of the project, as this is the first release I am working on and have no idea how good, bad, stupid, ugly it will go.
Final release could be completely different for all I know, and fall for the usual well known production monster that me call scope creep ;(.

So far the plan is a simple scope, in style of asteroids, diep.io, survivors roguelike with potentially some spaceship customization (hopefully), we will see :)

Exciting News! 🎉

We're thrilled to announce that our game now features Badges, Trading Cards, Profile Backgrounds, and Emoticons! 🃏✨

Start collecting, trading, and customizing your profile to show off your style. Dive in and unlock these awesome rewards today!

Happy gaming! 🎮🎨

Thank you.

Hello everybody!
17'th of December, 2024, - this is time for both the monthly update, as well as the last update post of the year, so we'll try to sum up what we've done this year!

Most importantly we aaaalmost finished the demo we talked about in September.
There's still a few things that could use a bit more polish, and with the Christmas break comes some much needed free time to make that happen.
Luckily in small indie dev, deadlines are guidelines, so we can have a little extra studio time as a treat 🙂

We hope that despite the holdup you'll hang around for it - or even more, we're really counting on it!
We'd love our small community to be the first people to enjoy, and praise or roast our work 🙂 We'll keep you updated on how that's going. For now, a few maps and animations need polish as well as general audio design. (We were so focused on everything else that we completely forgot it exists in some areas 💀 )

If you're interested - be sure to join our discord for more info, but even if you don't - we will let you know here!

We're super excited. And we hope you are, too!



Honestly, this year was a bummer of a time, sure a lot of people can relate. It wasn't easy, but we kept soldiering on, and today we have what is almost a finished, polished demo 🙂
Exactly a year ago we showed you our first truly finished background drawing as a milestone - today? The game is full of them, with even more detail and flare, for now as far and wide as the demo goes 🔥

...oh, and this year, we managed to do 11 montly update posts, and as most of you know, there are 12 months in a year- that's possible personal best beating territory for 2025 💪 🦌 Karibu strong

Ghost of Fall as a whole is shaping up to be one heck of a massive project, but with our ever-growing experience, we're only getting better at making it, so we think we'll still be going strong this time next year, too!

If so, we hope we'll see you all in here for the next Christmas - maybe even there'll be more of us!

Merry Tuesday! (Not Christmas yet sadly)

Greetings, NIMRODS!

We're hard at work creating new content for you all to enjoy (aside from those of us working on R&D to improve performance, which is looking very promising - more word on that soon!) But while you all are waiting on the new content, we thought we'd address a few bugs and quality of life requests you've brought to our attention:

• The augment slot type is now indicated in the gun upgrade, gun inspect, and the arms dealer screens
  
• Inspecting locked augments in the gun upgrade screen will now tell you how to unlock them
  
• You can now unequip all assigned airdrops at once in the airdrop scheduler by pressing X
  
• A small toast will now appear when a drone levels up displaying what upgrade it has applied to the gun

When a player levels up their Special Power increases immediately and not when they collect the airdrop. Previously, the drone would level up at the same time it took an augment or tuning, only gaining Special Power when it did so. This was fine for most cases, but some players have started doing challenge runs where they never take tunings or never take augments. Even if a player doesn't collect their augment or tuning, they would still get Special Power from leveling up... but the drone made from that run wouldn't, because it previously only got Special Power when it added an augment or tuning.

We've changed it so that instead of just keeping track of when the weapon gained an augment or tuning, we also keep track of when the player leveled up. That way, if a player levels up but doesn't collect their augments or tunings, the drone made from that run will still gain Special Power up to the same level the player did at the same time the player did in the run they crafted the gun.

• Effects that cause bullets to explode (Explosive Ammo, Eponymous Nimrod's Barrel, RPG, Hydra Minimissle Swarmer) now stack their areas (not radius) instead of replacing each other
  
• English localization improvements
  
• French localization has drastically been improved

• Fixed an issue where Special Power was not being calculated correctly while using a gun in the Home Ship
  
• Fixed an issue where the hitsplats spawned by the target dummies in the home ship were displaying incorrect damage numbers
  
• Fixed an issue where Splitter Magazine and Splitter's Eggsac would overwrite each other. They now stack as intended
  
• Fixed an issue where Projectile Damage could scale out of control if two specific augments were taken together
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the Drone Scout ability to give 2.5x more Vision Range than intended
  
• Fixed an issue that prevented the Scavenger and Vandalism missions from correctly detecting completion
  
• Fixed several crashes that could occur

Thank you all so much for the overwhelming support. We won’t rest until NIMRODS is a game you can play forever—because every run should be another masterpiece of absurdity.

If you haven't already, come join our official Discord server:

As our closed beta is getting to its end (we'll close it completely on 23rd of December), we'd like to point out a couple of things.

1. We absolutely appreciate your feedback.
   
2. We hit 21,000 wishlists on Steam—good for us, good for you, and totally good to know. It's a guarantee that we'll continue to work hard on the game, and we're motivated AF.
   
3. Seems it was too early to show you the second test, as nothing major has changed. Lesson learned.
   
4. The estimated release date will be moved to a more realistic end of the summer of 2025.

From now on, we're putting our heads down (Earth's inner core kind of down) to design and work on the game. We're in a situation where we can more or less not care about marketing much (by the way, our budget is $0) and focus on the main thing: a holistic, complex, engaging, and fun game to play.

This doesn't mean we’ll stop sharing updates; in fact, it's the opposite. You'll receive game updates on a monthly basis here on Steam (and bi-weekly on our Discord server).

In the meantime, don't be shy to fill out this simple test feddback form, mates 😉
https://forms.gle/fFiPEWHXhTX7dsY2A

And, it's that time of year! We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Don't let yourself burn out—be happy here and now.
